Permanent Tooth Replacement Solutions

How do you know about dental implants?


Dental implants are a secure and durable substitute for lost teeth. Implants function as natural teeth and provide an appearance that is very natural inside your mouth. Our dentist is dedicated to giving you the highest level of satisfaction and high-quality treatment. To achieve that, we use modern techniques and advanced technologies that offer efficient, comfortable treatment. A majority of our patients find dental implants appealing solutions for tooth loss and are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and relaxed their experience is.


Implantation


Implantation is the beginning step in a two-part procedure that offers a long-term solution to tooth loss. Implants, also known as dental implants, are tiny titanium posts that are placed gently in the jaw by our dentist. The post acts as a tooth-like artificial root. After healing, the implant will join with your bone, creating a solid and secure base for your denture or replacement tooth. In the course of treatment, our team takes extreme attention to ensure you’re in the best care.


Dental Implant with Replacement Crown


An alternative crown is an artificial tooth that is fixed on the dental implant. The crown is made to appear and perform as one of your own teeth. In certain situations, the need for a temporary crown can be offered, which can provide aesthetic and functional benefits as the implant heals. When the implant is fully healed, a custom-designed replacement crown is placed, giving you the fullness and function to your smile. Crowns that are replaced are an excellent alternative for replacing all kinds of dental work.


Implant-Supported Dentures


Implant-Supported Dentures provide another teeth replacement option, which can be a fantastic alternative to traditional dentures. The doctor at our clinic will suggest an appropriate plan to replace your teeth according to your personal requirements and preferences.


  • Implant-Supported Removable Dentures offer a solution for both lower and upper teeth. They are removable to clean like traditional dentures, yet they are safer than dentures that are not supported. Dentures that are supported by implants can be attached to as few as 4 implants, but they are more secure when you have more implants. Your dentist can advise you on the number of implants that are most suitable for your implant-supported removable dentures.
  • Fixed Implant-Supported Dentures can also be used to replace your lower and/or upper teeth. They are permanently attached to the dental implants. They replace a complete set of teeth. They may aid in preventing the loss of bone. Dental implants’ strength can be a perfect anchor to dentures, which will not be loose or fall out of the mouth.
  • Implant-Secured Partially Fixed Dentures (ISPFD) are a kind of bridge attached to dental implants. A traditional bridge is a kind of partial denture that replaces a single tooth or a number of teeth. The typical bridge is attached to the teeth around it, which could cause adjacent teeth to loosen. With implant-secured fixed partial dentures, implants provide the anchor, ensuring that the natural teeth of your patients aren’t damaged.

Benefits Of Dental Implants


Dental implants can be an attractive and effective treatment for tooth loss. There are many advantages of choosing dental implants.


  • The natural look of your smile. Dental implants are made to closely resemble natural teeth, which can restore your natural smile.
  • Healthier mouth: As there’s no need to change the surrounding teeth to secure implants, your natural teeth remain intact, and this can improve the overall health of your oral cavity.
  • Improved speech: With removable non-anchored dentures, teeth may slide around in the mouth, leading to the speech to become mumbled or slurred. Dental implants eliminate that issue.
  • Increased ease of wearing: Implants made from dental materials prevent the slipping and discomfort that come with removable dentures.
  • more efficient Implants. Dental implants work like natural teeth, allowing patients to eat and drink without discomfort.
  • Durability: If properly cared for, dental implants will last for a lifetime.
  • Keep healthy bone structure in check: Spaces that are empty due to tooth loss could eventually result in the deterioration of the jawbone. Since dental implants function just like dental roots, they are able to stop this kind of degeneration, like natural teeth do.
  • Dental implants must be replaced every 7 to 7 years. Implants for dental care, if taken care of well, could last for a lifetime.

Are Dental Implants Right For Me?


There are many factors the doctor will look at prior to suggesting dental implants. A few of them are:

  • Bone support that is adequate to secure the implant
  • Healthy gum tissue
  • Sinus and nerve site
  • Overall health, which includes any chronic diseases

In certain instances, we might suggest advanced treatment for your lower or upper jaw in order to get the bone support required for an implant. Like all treatments, your treatment plan will be developed based on your particular desires and needs for a healthy smile.

Make sure you inform us about the medications you take when you visit us for a consultation. Your health and safety are important.


FAQs


What can I do to take care of my implant?

Thanks to the advancements in technological advancements, patients experience minimal discomfort before and after treatment. Our team of specialists is accredited and trained to offer an oral surgery that provides a relaxing and comfortable experience throughout the procedure.


How can my implants last?


If you take care of them properly and treat them, implants will last for a long time, as natural teeth do.
